The Fernie Fix: July 2011 Issue 55, Exerpts from "Summer Weddings" by Krista Turcasso

Have you ever been on vacation somewhere absolutely stunning and noticed heaps of brides and wedding parties leaving churches, having photos taken, parading around town and the like? Fernie has become one of these destinations, I'm sure you all agree, and numerous businesses have been on high demand during these months, providing services and helping to create lasting memories for the many brides, grooms, wedding parties, families and friends that congregate in our small community for that "special day".

Venue operators have noticed an increase in clients from Calgary and Southern Alberta, with a continueing strong client base coming from the Elk Valley and some enthusiastic clients from abroad.

Scenery and atmosphere are key choices when deciding on a location to host manhy important occasions in our lives, and Fernie definitely excels when it comes to these attributes!

There are other factors that come into play when taking Fernie's wedding market into consideration. Our close proximity to Calgary leands itself as not only is this a large population base, it's home to an international airport so geusts can easily make the trip. Also, at this point out market isn't saturated and thus venues are available closer to dates individuals are looking for.

We all love Fernie for its beauty, charm and community and others are choosing Fernie as a wedding destination for these same reasons. Fernie's backdrop hangs on the walls of many newlyweds, with more to come as we continue to respond to demand and provide unparalleled hospitality, amenities and experiences. Congratulations to all the brides and grooms getting married in Fernie this summer!
